Is it possible to change the background and text color of the Samsung main menu (see below)? Would be nice if it was possible to make it black instead of white (and vice versa with the text) to create a all black theme smile.gif .



Or maybe someone knows how we can get our hands on the black samsung theme that is shown here: http://www.theunwired.net/?item=videoview-...ftware-hands-on ?

It IS a Samsung theme. Only for some reason it was only included in the ROM the unwired tested.

The best black theme I have seen is FlatBlack.tsk a black and white theme which works very well. Place in the Windows directory and select from today themes. I am not allowed to upload file but I guess you will be able to find it at XDA-Developers or through google.

Create a zip file with the tsk inside. This can be uploaded. I did this with the Tmobile metallic theme for the Omnia.

Done

On the latest roms DXHI1 & 2 it should work straight off. For older roms the start menu color may apear black on black.

To resolve this you may need to change the color of your today start menu text. That's done by editing the registry HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Colors. Variables 4 and 39 are the main ones, 39 being start menu color and 4 being Today item text colors. 4 should be added or changed to FF FF FF 00 (white), but you can have it whatever you want (00 00 00 00 is black).

The real question is can someone get a hold of that open market ROM being used in the video i900XXHG7/XFHG7 (PDA) and i900XXHG7 (Phone) huh.gif ohmy.gif . Then the tasty bits can be extracted and shared tongue.gif cool.gif dry.gif

Todayscreen is perfect!! Only the "Main menu" as shown in my first post is still the same after installing the cab. seems like that part is missing?

This one looks great! I'll see how it looks like with a fully black background... is there an easy way to get that or do I need to use a black picture as a background?

Correct... I have the same... only the icons on the main screen look different.

I think I will stick to flatblack, which already looks very nice!
